New Portobello High School- Where and how?

This is how it's being played though, Epykat - at least in the mind of Macintyre. He's saying all the things that the council wouldn't dare put in their propaganda.

No, you are both misinterpreting.

I'm saying that people need to look out for themselves. In this case PAD's failed to do so, golfers failed to do so and the council did nothing. The impending change is feudal law was widely known Its a totally brilliant change. However, as with all laws there are winners and losers.

From what Mr P has researched, there is nothing but nothing any party could have done to reverse the effects of the law change.

Even the "dead nman's grave" analogy does not apply. The council were not superiors, LV were. So when the land was donated, or after it was donated, the power of what happens to that land fell into hands other than the council. You may groan all you wish but you are groaning for the wrong reason..

So from what I can gather:

The people who live in the immediate vicinity (and please remember, they don't ALL live in Park Avenue, some of them live in the Christians, Milton Road and Hope Lane) are actually the ones at fault. They stupidly bought (or were put into by the Council - my mother in law initially being one of them) houses with an open aspect and they then had the audacity to actually like where they lived. Not being bright enough or totally on the ball, they inadvertently missed the fact that it was their responsibility to find out all about feu rights and the law - which is obviously the first thing you look into when you move into a new house, or indeed, keep your eye on on at least an annual basis. And now - well....... how could they even think about being a teeny weeny wee bit annoyed that two schools and a housing estate are about to be built on their doorstep? Really, the nerve of some people. And obviously they don't give a toss about the environment or the local kids or education or the impact on the community as a whole or the traffic problems - they are totally, utterly and absolutely completely selfish. They all hate kids. They want them in crumbling tower blocks so that they can spend their copious amounts of free time walking to the golfie for a quick round on a rubbishy course. The Council on the other hand are squeaky clean, thinking only about the children of the community and nothing about any profit that might just happen to come their way. The thought of building houses on the golf course just came as a flash of inspiration one day - they had never thought of it before. And I won't apologise for my rant. I'm sick of the 'residents' and 'golfers' being portrayed as the baddies and the children of this community being held up as hostages in a guilt trip.

<I thought you were out for a curry?>

edit: just asking Stephen why he was on here when he should be eating a Korma?

I would like to be pro-plan :

I'm just finding it all a bit hard to swallow.
